New on the shelves: Garnier Light Cream, Sunplay Body Mist sunblock, Kanebo Milano powder, LipIce Color Shimmer lipbalm

January 15, 2011 Paris B 27 Comments

Hello Ladies!

I’ve been snooping around and picked up news of a couple of new things I thought I’d share with you. Most are already available so if you are interested you can run right out and get them 🙂

Garnier Light to lighten dark spots in 2 weeks

garnier light cream

The Garnier Light cream has been around for a while already. The bright yellow tub of cream contains lemon extract and snowpine whitesource (which is supposed to be 10 times more effective than Vitamin C for skin brightening). I personally have not used it but I know of some people who do and who do report that its good for them. It helps of course that its very affordable 🙂 So the cream itself isn’t new, but they have improved upon it so it now lightens skin within 2 weeks instead of 4. It comes with SPF17 PA++ for sunscreen protection (but do use additional sunscreen if you really want to protect your skin). If you have tried this, please share your thoughts on it 🙂

Garnier Skin Naturals Light Whiten & Even Moisturising Cream with SPF17 PA++ retails at RM19.90/50ml at leading pharmacies and retailers

Sunplay spray on sunscreen

sunplay uv body mist
Actual product reads SPF80 (I used the wrong image 😛 )

I spotted this in Guardian Pharmacy about 2 weeks ago. Actually my friend did and pointed out the SPF80 reading. I used to use Sunplay sunscreens quite a few years ago. They were small, slim and practical to tote around, plus they weren’t sticky. I just did not quite like the “papery” feel on my skin after application. I’m curious to see if this one will be the same since it promises to feel moisturizing.

Sunplay UV Body Mist Sunblock SPF80 PA++ retails at RM45.90/150ml at all leading pharmacies

Kanebo Milano powder

kanebo milano powder 2011

Kanebo puts out a limited edition Milano collection powder every year. Its a very exclusive collection and I’ve seen the powder myself at a Kanebo counter. But I haven’t tried it nor can I bring myself to because its pretty pricey. Also I don’t think I really want to defile it and ruin that pretty embossing! Infused with royal jelly extract and daisy extract for a non-cakey velvety finish.

Kanebo Milano Face Up Powder SPF14 PA++ 24g retails at RM248

LipIce Shimmer Tinted Lipbalm!

lipice shimmer tinted lipbalm

I’m not into lipbalms much as many of you know by now. But many years ago, before I discovered things like Vitamin E Oil and Lucas Papaw Ointment, I was using Lipice. In its original flavour, it would leave a lovely tingly cool feel on my lips which was nice 🙂 Now there’s a new color shimmer lip moisturizer which is pretty much self-explanatory. Essential tinted lip balm with shimmer. Now isn’t that pretty? Perfect for those no makeup days 🙂 It does contain beeswax though so if you are sensitive you know to avoid it.

LipIce Sheer Color Shimmer Lip Moisturizer retails at RM14.90 each at all leading pharmacies

So if you are keen on any of the products above, you can easily find them in stores now.

Oh and I wanted to share too that if you want to try Vichy products, or are already a user, there are some leftover value sets from Christmas that are great value for money.

vichy value sets

My personal recommendations are the Aqualia (moisture) and Normaderm (acne-prone) range. And I saw that in Guardian, they were selling some mini value sets too – 1 full size product with a bunch of samples. A friend bought the new tinted sunscreen. I’m going to try to get them to share their thoughts on it later, or failing which I’d swipe it off them and try it for myself! 😉

So what are you up to then this weekend? I’m doing spring cleaning and I also have a massage lined up to ease my aching bones hehe… Chinese New Year is less than 3 weeks away! I have to get my house clean and shipshape to welcome in the Year of the Rabbit! 😀

Enjoy the weekend 😀

    I just bought a pair of Chloe boots from Net-a-porter because I’ve been a cranky pants all week. 😛 Think that’s all that’s up to for this weekend. 😛

    When I visited Malaysia many years ago, I loved visiting pharmacy stores, because they had all these cheap, whitening products that are not available in Australia. They were great gifts to family and friend members, who don’t use high-end brands 😀 Your post makes me miss Malaysia!

      Aww… so when are you coming here again then? With the strong AUD, there’s no better time to visit. Shopping is alright, but food! The food! 😀

        The food was crazy! It was so humid and hot, but my husband’s uncle took us to this place, where they served hot noodles. No air conditioning whatsoever.. Plus I can’t bear to look at noodles for breakfast.. I ate Ice Kachang for breakfast instead and people thought I was on a diet??

          HAHA Unfortunately the best food are found in the hottest, not so clean areas. I’m a street food sorta girl so if you were here I’d probably do the same thing your husband’s uncle did! 🙂

    I am intrigued with Kanebo Milano Powder! My mom in law is using the Garnier Light cream and it works for her! Happy Weekend!

      Great to know you now have LipIce where you are! 😀 The Kanebo Milano powder sure looks pretty doesn’t it? I don’t think I could ever bring myself to use it.

    I used the Garnier light cream before and detested it. While I wasn’t counting much on the whitening claim, I didnt expect the sticky formula to give my normal-oily combi skin an oily sheen. It sits on the skin all day, seems like nothing gets absorbed. I was so fed up with it I slathered it on my body so I could use it up and not feel so frustrated that I wasted my money totally (even though I did, cos there wasn’t much moisturising going on at any level). And the SPF17 is most probably not reliable since the active sunscreen ingredients are not many and not that near the beginning of the ingredient list.

    • ParisB says

      January 16, 2011 at 12:20 pm

      Gosh another complaint 🙁 Fortunately its not very pricey is it? I agree with you that SPF17 isn’t high enough in our tropical weather. I always recommend using a separate sunscreen with higher SPF.

    Shop shop shop for cny clothes 🙂 hahaha… Oooo, that lipice sheer colour lipbalm is a failure… I’ve tried the one without the shimmer. The stick is the same as normal lipbalms but will turn a nice shade or light redish n pinkish colour. Very nice. Leave it on for a few more minutes, mayb an hr or 2 ( not sure cuz I nvr check), it turns into this horrible super super bubblegum bright pink colour. Dont know whether this only happened to me. Plus, it doesnt keep yr lips hydrated long enough. After 1/2 hrs, u feel like u need to reapply again.

      I did my CNY clothes shopping last weekend. It was superbly awesome since I don’t shop often so when I do, I make up for lost time hehe… Also you know what they say, once you find something, its a good shopping day! I never used the tinted version of the LipIce lipbalm. I used to like the original one because of that minty feel on the lips.

    I would love to try out the sunplay sunscreen. Til now I’ve not found my HG product for body yet. The closest that I can tolerate is the neutrogena spray sunscreen. But I’m reluctant to use it coz it dries out my skin and feel ‘papery’ just like the sunplay face sunscreen.

      Aha! So you know what I mean by the papery feel of the skin! So many people I tell this to don’t get me 😛 I do hope this fares better too.

        “Papery” feels like a thin layer of film which covers the skin which is not grease?? It’s a weird sensation. Feels drying too.

          Yup! Its a drying sensation and makes our skin feel like paper. I absolutely detest it.

    Having read all the comments above – so funny – I am planning on trying the LipIce products, as I really love light coloured lips. Can you please tell me if they are available in the UK?

    Many thanks

      It’s probably because it’s been discontinued.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
